nog xx dagen voor de
première van Herakles
Rusians maakte deel uit van de eerste solo plaat van Sting die een jaar na het uiteenvallen van The Police werd uitgebracht. De plaat bevat enkele sterke politieke liedjes zoals Children's Cruisade (over de vernietiging van jonge generaties in oorlogen) en We work the Black Seam (over de mijnstakingen in Engeland). In Europe and America, there's a growing feeling of hysteria
Conditioned to respond to all the threats
In the rhetorical speeches of the Soviets
Mr. Krushchev said we will bury you
I don't subscribe to this point of view
It would be such an ignorant thing to do
If the Russians love their children too
How can I save my little boy from Oppenheimer's deadly toy
There is no monopoly in common sense
On either side of the political fence
We share the same biology
Regardless of ideology
Believe me when I say to you
I hope the Russians love their children too
There is no historical precedent
To put the words in the mouth of the President
There's no such thing as a winnable war
It's a lie that we don't believe anymore
Mr. Reagan says we will protect you
I don't subscribe to this point of view
Believe me when I say to you
I hope the Russians love their children too
We share the same biology
Regardless of ideology
What might save us, me, and you
Is if the Russians love their children too
